I agreeYour mom connecting you with lighter women is a clear example of that. In Somalia even women bleach to get a higher chance at marriage. More men will be interested in them. Ofc I’m against skin bleaching, but watching videos helped me understand why they do it. There is even a saying in Somalia that only darker skin and night time is dumb. Basically insinuating dark skin is bad. It upsets me. I even see diaspora somali men being influenced by this saying they want to marry a lighter skinned somali women back home. They never go for women their own colour or darker.
